Feeling Boujee? How to Throw a Bach & Boujee Bach Party!
Bachelorette parties are a “last hurrah” for the bride-to-be. She gets to spend time with her favorite girls and build lasting memories of her last days as a single lady.
Usually, the maid of honor and the bride’s closest friends plan her ultimate bach party. A theme makes it super easy to put together a stunning event!
If your favorite future bride loves the finer things in life, throw her a bach & boujee-themed bachelorette party!
Much like a Barbie-themed shower, this bachelorette party theme is all about glitz, glam, and elevated details. There’s nothing too boujee for your bride-to-be! Even if you’re on a tight budget, you can easily arrange a boujee celebration for your favorite bachelorette!
Here is everything you need to know when throwing a boujee bachelorette party.
Invitations: Expensive and Luxurious
Your invitation’s design is incredibly important because it’s the first look your prospective guests will get of your theme! Choose expensive paper to match your elegant theme.
If you’re going the digital route, keep the design simple and understated. Make sure you send the invites 4-6 weeks before the big day so everyone has time to pencil you in.
Boujee elegance means refined glitz and clean lines, so choose a design that reads expensive and understated. Black paper with rose gold printing will read girly and rich while white with yellow gold accents will look very expensive!
Once you choose the perfect color palette, it’s time to get the wording just right. Invitation phrase wording is important to communicate your theme. “Bach and Boujee” will let attendees know to expect a glamorous event.
Include the bride’s name, the venue address, and when the event will take place. Include clear RSVP directions, as well as any dress code you may set.
Find the Perfect Boujee Setting
Any spot can be boujee with the right vision! So whether you’re planning a destination bachelorette party, renting a venue, or hosting at home, you can easily adapt this theme to fit your surroundings.
If you’re celebrating out of town, look for a swanky bar or winery to visit. Many cities have rooftop restaurants that will give you a stunning view of the area.
Renting a venue? Look for a minimalist space that you can put your own stamp on. Art galleries, museums, and high-end restaurants will provide the perfect backdrop for your boujee bach!
Even if you are organizing an at-home bach, it’s easy to make everything boujee! Expensive-looking white platters with gold cutlery look very boujee. If your bride-to-be loves pink, swap yellow gold for rose gold for a girlie look! Keep decor sleek and elegant.
Metallic balloons look more refined, especially when used sparingly. Use them to craft a beautiful balloon arch that will double as a backdrop for photos.
You can also create a black and white gallery wall with photos of the bride throughout the years. This will give guests something to look at as they enjoy spending time together.

At your boujee bach, you should have a good assortment of beverages. Serve sparkling water, fresh squeezed lemonade, and infused waters for guests who do not or cannot drink alcohol.
For everyone else, craft a signature cocktail with boujee ingredients like champagne or prosecco.
Bellinis, martinis, and cosmos all look super elegant when sipped from a glass! Whichever cocktail you choose, offer a mocktail virgin for guests who require one.
Set up multiple drink stations around your event, so guests are never far from some refreshment. Create beautiful table signs so everyone can tell what is inside the drink.
Elevated Entertainment
Put together a playlist full of songs that highlight the finer things in life. Or craft one with instrumental tracks to make it feel like you are celebrating in style.
Plan some wedding shower games to keep the party going. Trivia about the bride and groom, a scavenger hunt for boujee items, or bridal bingo will all put smiles on your guests faces.
If your bride loves boujee clothing, have guests design the perfect outfit for her using printed cards you’ve prepared. The bride can decide which outfit is most to her taste and the winner can get a fun prize!
You can also arrange fun experiences that guests won’t forget. Wine or caviar tastings are very boujee! Have a local jeweler give a presentation on telling a fake diamond from a real one.
Crafts will also keep guests entertained, so have them create their own signature scent at a perfume station or spa items they can use to relax!

What to Wear to a Boujee Bach
Setting a dress code will amplify your theme and make guests feel like they are part of the party. Ask guests to wear their best cocktail attire or something that makes them feel boujee.
You can ask that they wear something glitzy or a specific color, like all black. Guests can also wear things that resemble expensive brands like Hermes or Gucci.
Of course, they won’t need the real deal, but wearing a dupe or homemade logo will be a good way to match the bride’s boujee tastes for the theme.
You can have the bride wear all white and stand out without having to wear additional accessories. The bride should look the part in an elegant dress that makes her look like an heiress.
Clean lines and simple pieces that fit like a glove are one way to look boujee. Present her with a simple, timeless necklace or bracelet she can wear during the event and afterward to remember her bachelorette party.
Wrapping Up the Party
Bachelorette parties are a time for the bride to let loose and celebrate with her closest friends and family members.
Whether you’re taking a trip to honor her or setting up shop in someone’s home, choose a theme that will make her heart sing. Every detail should be all about her.
A boujee bach will acknowledge her love of the finer things in life, Ask her what makes her feel like a million bucks and be sure to incorporate those elements into the bach. Then, dance the night away celebrating your favorite bride to be!
